Efficient production of triacylglycerols rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by osmo-heterotrophic marine protists

APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY, 98(23), 9643–9652.

By: Y. Liu *, J. Tang *, J. Li *, M. Daroch * & J. Cheng n 

author keywords: Thraustochytrids; Culture optimization; DHA; Lipid composition; Fermentation
MeSH headings : Aquatic Organisms / isolation & purification; Aquatic Organisms / metabolism; Biofuels; Culture Media / chemistry; Docosahexaenoic Acids / metabolism; Fermentation; Glucose / metabolism; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Salinity; Seawater / microbiology; Stramenopiles / isolation & purification; Stramenopiles / metabolism; Temperature; Triglycerides / metabolism
TL;DR: The lipids profiles of each strain both revealed that the majority of DHA was distributed in neutral lipids (NLs), and the DHA distribution in NLs of PKU#SW7 was exclusively in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) which suggest that PKU #SW7 could be utilized as an alternative source of D HA for dietary supplements.

Ecologists, educators, and writers collaborate with the public to assess backyard diversity in The School of Ants Project

ECOSPHERE, 5(7).

By: A. Lucky n, A. Savage n, L. Nichols n, C. Castracani *, L. Shell n, D. Grasso *, A. Mori *, R. Dunn n 

Contributors: A. Lucky n, A. Savage n, L. Nichols n, C. Castracani *, L. Shell n, D. Grasso *, A. Mori *, R. Dunn n 

author keywords: ants; citizen science; distribution; diversity; public participation in scientific research; urban ecosystems
TL;DR: Data from the School of Ants program indicate that ant diversity varies across wide geographic scales and that there can be high levels of native ant diversity where people live, and to address concerns about the validity of citizen scientist-derived data, a ground truthing trial was conducted that confirmed that trained and untrained volunteers were equally effective at collecting ants.

MONTHLY REVIEW-AN INDEPENDENT SOCIALIST MAGAZINE, 66(7), 35–55.

By: S. Longo*, R. Clausen & B. Clark

TL;DR: The alternative approach presented here focuses on how the logic of capital has shaped production and commodification processes and highlights how the most recent case of biotechnology in relation to salmon serves the needs of capital by increasing control of biological and ecological systems in order to better conform to economic dictates.
